I have mild COPD. I had the tests done & the doctor told me this by way of letter in the mail.I quit smoking and thought thats all there was to it. I have been constantly having chest pains,nausea & wheezing after exercising.Actually have been in the hospital a few times,but noone ever brought up my copd.I am wondering should I be taking medications everyday to relieve these symptoms? I think there is an obvious answer to this.I feel stupid.For the past year i haven't been taking ANYTHING.
